Key Features and Benefits of the CL550 Mortise Lock
This mechanical codelock is built to withstand heavy use and offer long-lasting security. The CL550 mortise lock incorporates several key features that make it an ideal choice for locations requiring controlled access and robust durability:
-
Heavy-Duty Mortise Lock Mechanism: Constructed with a robust mortise lock, the CL550 provides a high level of security and resistance to forced entry. Its mechanical design ensures reliable operation even in demanding environments, making it suitable for high-traffic areas.
-
Mechanical Codelock Entry: Eliminate the need for keys for everyday access. Users can easily enter by inputting a correct code, offering convenient keyless entry and simplifying access management. This feature is particularly beneficial in settings with frequent staff turnover or multiple users.
-
Key Override for Management and Emergency Access: While primarily operating as a codelock, the CL550 includes a key override function. This allows authorized personnel to access the lock using a key, providing a crucial backup for management oversight, security checks, or emergency situations where immediate entry is required. The keyway controls the deadbolt position, offering an additional layer of security. Projecting the deadbolt denies code access, enhancing security when needed.
-
Anti-Panic Safety Feature: Safety is paramount, especially in commercial and institutional settings. The CL550 is designed with an anti-panic safety feature. From the inside, depressing the lever handle retracts both the deadbolt and latchbolt simultaneously, ensuring quick and easy egress in emergency situations, preventing accidental lock-ins.
-
Automatic Locking Latchbolt: The spring-loaded latchbolt automatically secures the door when it closes, ensuring the door is always locked without needing to remember to manually engage a lock. This auto-locking feature enhances security and convenience, especially in busy environments.
-
Versatile Application for Internal and External Doors: The CL550 is designed for versatility, suitable for both internal and external doors. Its robust construction and weather-resistant options (stainless steel finish) ensure reliable performance in various environments.
-
Suitable for Diverse Environments: From offices and schools to warehouses, hospitals, care homes, and nurseries, the CL550 is adaptable to a wide range of applications. Its durability and ease of use make it a practical security solution for diverse institutional and commercial settings.
-
Lever Handle Operation: The lever handle design provides ergonomic operation and is suitable for doors hung on either the left or right, offering flexibility in installation and ease of use for all users.
-
Durable Stainless Steel Finish: Available in a stainless steel finish, the CL550 offers enhanced resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring longevity and maintaining an aesthetic appearance even in high-use environments.
-
Optional Clean by Codelocks Antimicrobial Finish: For environments requiring enhanced hygiene, the CL550 can be specified with Clean by Codelocks. This optional photocatalytic coating provides an added layer of protection against viruses, bacteria, and germs, contributing to a cleaner and more hygienic environment. Please note that lead times for Clean by Codelocks application are 7 to 10 working days.
